Venice Carnival WIP

I've had a busy couple of days interviewing, errands and more job seeking. I've got a second interview today for a job that I think may be the one so keep your fingers crossed for me.

I was talking to a few people about my use of a knitting needle up the leg of my current work in process, My Venice Carnivale doll. I did buy a brass rod for the purpose but couldn't find it anywhere when I needed it. SO in a pinch I used a double pointed knitting needle. You can just see if peeping out of her toe and into the stand.

She's not fixed in place yet, because I drilled the hole in at the wrong angle, the pose is not quite at the angle I would like. As you can see I've decide on the violet colour for her costume and have been busy beading and otherwise embellishing her. I have plans for her headwear but haven't found all the materials yet. SO I'm on a mission...

ABOUT ME

My interest in dolls as art started quite a few years ago and I now work in clay, paperclay, paper mache, cloth, and apoxie.
My dolls have become part of collections world-wide and are available for sale on etsy. Some bought under the name Little Bit Wired but all signed Nancy Perennec
I like to post works in progress and tutorials. Sharing my interest and experience with others through my blog or teaching is something I wish I could do full time, but alas....
